- 1DisplacementThe shortest distance between the origin and the final position
- 2AmplitudeMax. displacement of a wave
- 3WavelengthThe distance between two corresponding points on adjacent cycles of a wave
- 4PeriodTime it takes for a full wave to pass one point
- 5HertzA frequency unit.
The amount of waves that pass a point per second.
f = 1/T - 6Unique property of EM wavesCan travel through a vacuum
- 7Similar properties all EM waves shareAll travel at the speed of light
All are transverse
All can travel through a vacuum - 8Plane polarised waves can only be...transverse waves
- 9How to polariseFilter
Reflection - 10What happens to light intensity when it passes through a polarising filter (+ uses)It decreases
[sunglasses as filtered light will be less intense] - 11Coherent waveWaves of equivalent wavelength and frequency, while also maintaining a fixed phase difference between each other.
